EW Interview
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: What was your introduction to this show? Had you watched it before?
DANIELLE ROSE RUSSELL: I watched The Vampire Diaries, and I was a huge fan of that, so when I got an audition for this, I was very familiar with the characters and the concept. But I hadn’t seen anything of The Originals until I was down to the end for the role and I watched the whole fourth season, and then when I got it I did my proper homework.
In playing the oldest Hope we’ve met, you’re really the one who gets to decide what kind of personality she has. What was that process like?
When we first see her, we see her rebellious side, but throughout the season it was a lot of fun working with the writers and defining who Hope is, because it is the first time you’re really seeing her as her own person with her own thoughts and her own decisions. That was a lot of fun.
She is the reason for her family’s separation — they want to protect her — which can’t be easy to deal with. How does that affect her?
Yeah, that definitely affects her, and I think it’s also part of her motivation as to why she’s so desperate to get them back together. Hope not seeing her father and not speaking to her father in such a long time takes a toll on her more than anything, so that’s why she goes to such great lengths, because she really misses her dad.
